Amahi Forums

Hi there
trying to get openvpn running - have installed on hda, have forwarded external port 1194 on my router to 1194 on my hda as UDP, have checked vpn on hda (seems fine if I am correct) and still get the not enabled message from my dashboard. Why would this be? No modem after my router btw.

I would not worry too much about it if the VPN is working. We have had some in the past that did not show correctly for one reason or another. It might have been a firewall issue or something with the ISP, but I can't remember.

If you want, you can email support. The main thing is that VPN works regardless of the dashboard status on amahi.org.

ok excellent, I hadn't even gotten to testing the vpn outside the network yet since I figured if the test didn't work, no point trying

Please let us know how it goes.
